Figure 1. Administrative Web Interface page

Supported web browsers

The web page servers are compatible with the following web browsers:

Firefox 8.0 or earlier

Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0

Note

Other browsers may also be compatible.

We strongly recommend you install the CA root certificate in the browser you use to avoid warning messages from appearing when you log in to the Administrative Web Interface (see Installing the CA Root Certificate).

Access Administrative Web Interface

To access the Administrative Web Interface:

Procedure

Step 1

From an Internet browser, enter the IP address of the client you want to configure. The IP address used depends on how the IP addresses are determined within your IP network:

Static IP Address: the IP address is hard-coded and must be known

Dynamic IP Address: the IP address is dynamically assigned by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and can be obtained from the DHCP server

Note

You can view the zero client IP address from the OSD by choosing Options > Configuration > Network. You can also view the IP address after you connect to the client through the Administrative Web Interface by choosing Configuration > Network.

Step 2

Enter the IP address into the browser (for example, https://192.168.1.123).

Note

Some networks using DHCP may be able to also access the Administrative Web Interface using the PCoIP Device Name. See Custom information configuration for more information.

Administrative Web Interface security

The Administrative Web Interface uses HTTP over an SSL socket (HTTPS). You cannot access it without an administrative password. The HTTPS connection is secured using a Teradici self-signed certificate.

Note

Some PCoIP devices have password protection disabled and do not require a password to log in.

CA root certificate installation

You can install a Certificate Authority (CA) root certificate in the Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browser to avoid the browser security warnings. The certificate file ("cacert.pem") is part of the firmware release.

Steps for installing the certificate on Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox are described in the following sections.

Install the CA root certificate in Internet Explorer

Procedure

Step 1

Open the Tools menu and select Internet Options.

Step 2

Click on the Content tab, and select Certificates.

Step 3

On the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab, select Import.

Step 4

Follow the on-screen directions to import the certificate. The certificate file is part of the firmware release. The file is called cacert.pem. Ensure you use the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store.

Install the CA root certificate in Firefox

Procedure

Step 1

Open the Tools menu and select Options.

Step 2

Select the Advanced icon at the top of the page.

Step 3

On the Encryption tab, select View Certificates.

Step 4

On the Authorities tab, select Import.

Step 5

Follow the on-screen directions to import the certificate. The certificate file is part of the firmware release. The file is called cacert.pem. Check the option labeled Trust this CA to identify web sites.

Log in

Procedure

Step 1

From the Log In page, enter your password. The default value is blank (“”).

Step 2

To change the time after which the device is automatically logged out, set the Idle Timeout field to one of the following values:

1 minute

5 minutes

15 minutes

30 minutes

Never

Step 3

Click Log In.

When you first log in to a device, the home page appears. It provides an overview of the device status. If configured in the firmware defaults, the Initial Setup page optionally appears the first time you log in.

Note

Some PCoIP devices have password protection disabled by default and do not require a password to login.

If a warning message appears when you try to log in, a session is already in progress on that device. Only one user can log in to a device at one time. Logging in to a session already in progress terminates that session.

Home page display

The home page displays a summary of the client. The first time you log into the Administrative Web Interface, the Initial Setup page appears. The home page appears for each subsequent session. To display it, click the Home link at the top left section of the menu bar.

Note

When you click the Reset Statistics button, the statistics reported in the home page are also reset. For details about resetting the statistics, see PCoIP protocol statistics display.
